Description

A once in a lifetime unique opportunity for the lover of the Arts and the French countryside.

Nestled in a peaceful bend of the iconic River Seine, just steps away from its serene banks, lies the village of Vétheuil, affectionately referred to as "the other Giverny." This enchanting corner of the French Vexin is celebrated not only for its picturesque landscapes but also as the retreat of Claude Monet, one of the undisputed masters of Impressionism.

Here, at the heart of this idyllic setting, stands a magnificent residence, originally built in 1784 and once home to the artist Edmond Collignon (1822-1890). A disciple of the legendary Eugène Delacroix and Paul Delaroche, Collignon left an indelible mark on his era with his artistic contributions to the prestigious Château de Chaumont-sur-Loire, the Tribunal de Commerce in Paris, the ceilings of Lyon’s Hôtel de Ville, and, of course, the ceilings of this very home, showcasing his distinctive craftsmanship. This artistic legacy permeates every corner of the property, where history and art are in perfect harmony, creating an atmosphere like no other.

Property Highlights:

The ground floor boasts a spacious living room bathed in natural light, with ceilings adorned by the hand of Edmond Collignon, exuding a refined ambience steeped in history. An open kitchen completes this inviting space, ideal for hosting intimate gatherings with family or friends.

The first floor features a cosy sitting room, a generously sized bedroom, and a bathroom, providing a comfortable retreat. With its monumental glass roof, the artist's studio offers a true sanctuary of creativity, perfect for letting your imagination soar.

The upper level includes a charming mezzanine overlooking the floor below, leading to a bedroom with an en-suite shower room. An adaptable attic awaits your vision, while a breathtaking panoramic view of the Seine serves as a stunning backdrop to your everyday life.

In the basement, a practical cellar offers ample storage or the perfect space to create your own wine cellar and tasting room.

Set on a 295 m2 plot, this property includes a swimming pool surrounded by a lush, flower-filled garden, providing a private oasis of greenery. Picture yourself here, by the water’s edge, immersed in a book or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the surroundings. The pool offers a refreshing escape during warm summer days and serves as an elegant space to entertain guests and appreciate the enchanting ambience of this intimate, fragrant garden.

A spacious garage is available to house your vehicles and equipment.

This residence is not merely a house; it is an invitation to live amidst art and history, to savour the beauty of a place steeped in culture, and to embrace a lifestyle where each day becomes a source of inspiration. Vétheuil offers not just a home, but a unique living experience, a journey through time within its picturesque streets and landscapes.
